:{TENORI-ON}:
Media artist Toshio Iwai and and Yu Nishibori of the Music and Human Interface Group, Yamaha Center for Advanced Sound Technology, have collaborated to design a new digital musical instrument for the 21st century, TENORI-ON. A 16×16 matrix of LED switches allows everyone to play music intuitively, creating a “visible music” interface. It consists of a hand-held screen with a grid of LED switches, any of which can be activated in a number of ways to create an evolving musical soundscape. The LED switches are held within a magnesium frame, which has two built-in speakers located on the top of frame, as well as a dial and buttons that control the type of sound and beats per minute produced. For DJs & producers it is a unique performance tool enabling them to perform using MIDI and load the TENORI-ON with samples to ‘jam / improvise’ within their set BPMs.

I went to see Digitonal at the Union Chapel last Saturday afternoon and discovered that, far from being a one-off, there are a whole series of Daylight concerts - and I’ve already missed over a month. Now that Football Focus is on summer hiatus, I need a new Saturday lunchtime ritual and this might just do me up like a kipper.

[Click this to see Eija-Riitta Berliner-Mauer’s website]

A woman with a bizarre fetish for inaninimate objects has revealed she has been married to the Berlin Wall for 29 years. Eija-Riitta Berliner-Mauer, 54, whose surname means Berlin Wall in German, wed the concrete structure in 1979 after being diagnosed with a condition called Objectum-Sexuality.

Mrs Berliner-Mauer, whose fetish is said to have its roots in childhood, claimed she fell in love with the structure when she first saw it on television when she was seven. She began collecting “his” pictures and saving up for visits. On her sixth trip in 1979 they tied the knot before a handful of guests.

While she remains a virgin with humans, she insists she has a full, loving relationship with the wall. Mrs Berliner-Mauer, who lives in Liden, northern Sweden, said: “I find long, slim things with horizontal lines very sexy. “The Great Wall of China’s attractive, but he’s too thick – my husband is sexier.”

While the rest of mankind rejoiced when the Wall, erected by the Soviets in 1961 to halt an exodus from East to West Berlin, was largely torn down in 1989, its “wife” was horrified. She’s never been back and now keeps models depicting “his” former glory. She said: “What they did was awful. They mutilated my husband.”

She is said to have shifted her affections to a nearby garden fence. Objectum-Sexual or objectophilia is feelings of love, attraction, arousal, and commitment for a particular object. The mere thought of a relationship with an actual human being seems ludicrous.

Digitonal are ace - they played a lush set at The Firegathering Festival a couple of weeks ago and they’re generously giving YOU a FREE gig on Saturday lunchtime, previewing new material from their forthcoming album, ‘Save Your Light For Darker Days’. As Andy from the band explains: “we’re bringing the full band back together for a very special gig at the Union Chapel, Islington alongside SonVer. It’s a daytime gig so note the time (Midday kickoff!). We’re on around 1pmish.”

After Digitonal, I’ll be quaffing a couple of cheeky snifters with birthday boy, Baby Ben, then I’m off to the Emirates with my mate, Tall Paul, to see THE BOSS:

Another season of close, but no cigar - although, it was good to finish the job by beating Spurs on Sunday. Away from home too and one more goal for Fernando means that he’s equalled Bernie Mac as the second top scorer in the Premier League this term.

Moreover, Liverpool have finally got a 20 goal striker for the first time since Robbie Fowler [Mickey Owen may be dead nice and everything, but never bagged 20 goals in the league and, apparently, he’s bound for Toffeeland anyway].

ps: The winner was Fernando’s mazy run and clinical finish during the Reds’ 4-0 rout of Marseille at the Stade Velodrome in the Champions League.
